Graded MUN: "there is no winning, there is no losing--the only people losing are the ones who don't try."

Last Saturday, over 80 Graded students came to school to debate world issues and gain more public speaking experience in the third edition of Graded Model United Nations. This year, a system of mentors was established so that experienced MUNers were encouraged to help the new delegates. Our motto was "there is no winning, there is no losing--the only people losing are the ones who don't try." The entire conference, from choosing topics to ordering snacks, was organized and led by Graded students and it was a great success. Our delegates are now ready to start preparing for upcoming conferences, such as SPMUN, which will happen next month.
